Abstract
The present paper is devoted to the investigation of uniform stabilities of positive C
0
-semigroups defned on
abstract state spaces by means of a generalized Dobrushin ergodicity coefcient. The most known results
in the literature were obtained for Markov semigroups acting on Banach lattices having unique invariant
states. The essence of the present paper is that the considered Markov semigroups (acting on abstract state
spaces) do not generally have invariant states and, moreover, abstract state spaces need not necessarily be
lattices, implying that the results of the paper are principal in this direction.

Introduction
It is a well-known fact that the asymptotic behavior of certain physical systems constitutes an integral part of physics
and mathematics. The solutions of autonomous evolution equations are typically expressed by one-parameter operator
semigroups, and therefore, it is essential to know their long-term behavior. Consequently, one needs to have efective
methods and techniques for the examination of their asymptotic behavior. In most of the cases, the semigroup acts on some
Banach space which is usually taken as certain function space, and thus exhibits some kind of an order structure. In such
circumstances, a positive initial value of the evolution equation leads to a positive solution, which allows the consideration
of positive operator semigroups. In the literature, diverse ways were discovered to establish, under certain assumptions,
the convergence of such semigroups as time goes to infnity [20]. In most cases, the limiting operator is considered to be
either compact operator or rank-one projection [2, 9, 11, 19, 25, 26].
This paper is dedicated to the anniversary of Professor S. Samko.
